Abstract:
The largest exporter of nurses around the world is the Philippines composing approximately 25% of all overseas nurses worldwide. Roughly 85% of hired Filipino nurses are employed and practicing in more than 50 countries globally. This study focused on exploring the caring attributes of Filipino Nurses working abroad utilizing the CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Model to examine the impact of faculty staff or clinical educators on the caring attributes of Filipino nurses working outside the Philippines and how servant leadership was being manifested in their field of work. Numerous studies were conducted about Filipino Nurses’ caring attributes and the role of academe. However, no study has yet been published with regard to the important role of the academe in leading and educating future nursing leaders utilizing the CASAGRA Transformative Model. Through the one-on-one online interviews, data were collected from 16 Registered Nurses, in the Philippines and in their current country of employment, practicing in various units of the hospital currently working in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Canada, Australia, USA, Germany, and the United Kingdom, who graduated from different universities in the three (3) major island group in the Philippines, Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and different years graduated. Data gathered were then transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Life-Changing Care by True Leaders Who Serve was derived from the study through the caring attributes influenced by Clinical Instructors, serving through mentoring, having a harmonious relationship in rendering care, and the desire to serve as a leader.
